"The Serbian government is constantly investing efforts with a view to improving the economic situation in the area," Stankovic told Tanjug commenting on the report issued by the Institute for investigation into the conflicts in Heidelberg concerning the situation in the three southern Serbian municipalities.
He noted that the Coordination Body has frequent contacts with the leadership of the local self-government and Albanian leaders in the territory, adding that the agreement has already been reached concerning the continuation of the talks on the resolution of problems, primarily in the sectors of politics and economy.
Stankovic announced that a fair on the possibilities of investments in the territory of Presevo, Medvedja and Bujanovac will be held on April 25, adding that the government will join efforts with the Serbian Chamber of Commerce in an attempt of attracting foreign and local investors. In addition to this, certain private and social companies filed requests for the purchase of companies in bankruptcy proceedings and public companies which operated successfully in the previous period, he added.
The report on conflicts prepared by the Institute for investigation into conflicts in Heidelberg was issued on Sunday and the south of central Serbia, under the name the Presevo Valley mainly used by the Albanian minority, was listed on the map of crisis spots drawn up by German analysts. The report describes the Balkans as the 'for the most part settled crisis area', while the situation in the south of central Serbia is described as the 'non-violent crisis' of the second degree of intensity with a tendency of aggravation.
According to the scale of the German institute, the conflict of the first degree of intensity entails a common debate or a louder debate in the parliament, the second degree of intensity implies a non-violent crisis, intensity of the third degree stands for a crisis engaging violence, the fourth degree of intensity entails occasional conflicts, while the intensity of the fifth degree means war.
